    Got the box wired, mounted on the processor and started getting the stations back on.

    As an electrician, seeing this many wires all the same color makes my eye twitch.

    As a staunch libertarian I make no judgements about what goes on behind the closed doors of a lv box- so long as the ammo produced thereby makes a loud noise and bangy type impact, that is.

    I judge a nest of wires, not by the color of their skins, but by the character of the content of their products :)

    You got me all wrong. I don't judge wires by the color of their insulation.... I judge electrical engineers on the color of the wires insulation!
    Ever seen the harness behind the center stack on a Cadillac Allante?
    Luckily, no! I'm guessing it's much like deavis' controller though?

    As long as the angry pixies are properly choreographed and it they don’t trip over each other the color of the uniform is irrelevant.

    Plus, it will be more fun if someone else has to troubleshoot it.

    I don't mind electric tape. That's just part of the job.

    Side story, our company uses color codes on wires:

    Black, red, blue - filter pump
    Yellow, yellow - cleaner pump
    Brown, purple - waterfall pumps
    Red or yellow, white - pool light
    Blue, white - spa light.

    Recently I opened a panel with 25 red and black wires... I asked our master electrician WTF and he said oh it's code now.

    If I use multicolored wires I like to cut them and swap them around then wrap them in heat shrink and electric tape to hide the splices.

    Do you also load Barnes bullets in perfecta brass?

    Hornady A-tips in corroded milsurp brass with random primers I picked up off the floor and threw in a bucket over the years.

    Charged from the random powders that were swept off the bench when cleaning up.

    Last night was mounted my presses and started organizing and putting away all of my loading stuff. Still don't have a place for everything and still busy season at work so taking it slow. I started thinking that if this cold front continues it's gonna be time to cast up some 45s though!

    Funny, all voltages and polarities have a specific color and are going into color coded terminal blocks. Look again, they are even sized for the amperage properly.

    I hear that but if you cant debug 15 signal lines and 2 voltage planes with a wiring diagram and wire tags (adding them next) then you better turn in that EE degree! ;)

    Loaded 9 and 40 today
